Human-Computer Counter-Choreographies: new embodied methods and tools for development of web-based user-interfaces to improve well-being and equitable

我建议进行基于实践的研究，以开发和分析新的方法和工具，这些方法和工具包括从算法性能到提高基于网络的界面的透明度和易读性的具体技术，以促进用户的福祉。这一建议的核心是将化身理解为以日常经验为基础并从日常经验中涌现出来的身体参与[18]。以身体为中心的方法提供了对我们在线行为的深入理解，可以从根本上告知和倡导系统的透明度[19]。到目前为止，我已经建立了一系列的工作，探索编排方法如何提供关于编程语言结构如何塑造我们的网络环境的另一种见解。这部作品以不同的形式出现在其中，其中包括现场编码表演，即在观众面前现场编写计算机代码，通常用于视听作品。通过将身体意识和即兴技巧与实时编码实践相结合，我在博士学位的目标是开发一个新的设计空间，用于参与、挑战和反思用户界面范例。我将与Wellcome Collection合作，他们带来了一个全面记录的开源和社区驱动的数字基础设施来合作。此外，Wellcome对改善健康和福祉的关注已经导致在其网络平台的开发中围绕透明度、可访问性、包容性和外联制定了独特的战略。在博士期间开展的工作将最终形成一份在线出版物，记录研究和实践。它将作为一个工具包运作，其中包括设计资源、代码资产、关于所制作工具的文件，如浏览器插件和扩展，以便与Wellcome Collection的参与式设计进程同步设计。最终，该工具包将促进学术界、文化界和工业界在开发基于网络的用户界面方面进行批判性和反思性的对话，以促进福祉和公平的算法未来。

I propose to conduct practice-based research into the development and analysis of new methodologies and tools that comprise embodied techniques from algorithmic performance to improve web-based interfaces' transparency and legibility to foster users' wellbeing. Central to this proposal is the understanding of embodiment as physical engagement grounded in and emerging out of everyday experience [18]. Body-centered approaches provide an in-depth understanding of the actions we perform online and can fundamentally inform and advocate for a system's transparency [19]. So far, I have built a body [20] of work that explores how choreographic methods provide alternative insights on how programming language structures shape the creation of our web environments. The work has materialized in various formats among these, live coding performances, which is when computer code often for audio-visual composition is written live [22] in front of an audience. By intersecting corporeal awareness and improvisational skills from live-coding practices, I aim in my PhD to develop a new design space for engaging with, challenging and reflecting upon user-interface paradigms. I will partner with the Wellcome Collection, who brings a thoroughly documented open-source and community-driven digital infrastructure to work with. Moreover, the Wellcome's focus on improving health and wellbeing has already led to unique strategies around transparency, accessibility, inclusion and outreach in the development of their web platforms. The work developed during the PhD will culminate in an online publication that will document the research and practice. It will operate as a toolkit with design resources, code assets, documentation on the tools made, such as browser plug-ins and extensions to be devised apace with the participatory design process at the Wellcome Collection. Ultimately, the toolkit will stimulate critical and reflexive conversation within the academic, cultural and industrial communities in the development of web-based user-interfaces fostering well-being and equitable algorithmic futures.
